Highlights

Tour First, Taste Better. Starting with the vineyard and cellar tour means every wine at the table has context — you’ve seen the barrels, walked the rows, and understood the process before the first pour.

The Cellar in the Morning. The barrel room and barriques are open exclusively during morning sessions (9am-11am) — booking a morning slot gives guests the most complete version of this experience.

A Full Four-Course Lunch. Not a light plate — antipasti, primo, secondo, and dessert, all prepared from local Tuscan ingredients and paired course by course with the estate’s wines.

Wine School at the Table. A wine expert guides the tasting throughout the meal, explaining the organoleptic, olfactory, and sensory characteristics of each wine — making it educational as well as enjoyable.

The Most Complete Format. Among all the lunch experiences at this estate, this is the one that combines everything: vineyard walk, cellar visit, full meal, and guided wine school tasting.
